Ok Taecyeon began the second act of his life with a private wedding, but he is suffering amid an unexpected controversy over invasion of privacy. Nonetheless, he immediately focused on his next project and quietly continued on his path.
Ok Taecyeon held a wedding on the 24th at the State Guest House of the Shilla Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul with a non-celebrity partner four years his junior. The ceremony was a private event held with only family, relatives and close acquaintances invited out of consideration for the civilian bride. The emcee was fellow 2PM member Hwang Chan-sung, and members performed celebratory songs to celebrate the second married member in the group starting anew.
The two are known to have been a long-term couple who nurtured their love for about 10 years. Last year, Ok Taecyeon personally announced the marriage news and said, "I promised to spend my life with the one person who trusted me for a long time," receiving many congratulations.
But the happy day was short-lived. Immediately after the wedding, photos believed to have been taken in hotel rooms and other outside locations spread on overseas social media and online communities. Some photos relatively clearly captured scenes from the ceremony and the bride's face, drawing criticism. In particular, the bride's face being revealed while she is a civilian raised concerns about violations of portrait rights and invasion of privacy.
While Ok Taecyeon has not made any response to this, he quickly returned to daily life amid the controversy. Instead of a honeymoon, he was seen calmly spending time, including watching movies.
Above all, fans' attention is focused on his next work. Ok Taecyeon is scheduled to appear in Soul Mate, which is set to be released this year. Having steadily worked as both a singer and an actor, he is expected to continue his constant busy activities even after marriage.
There were uncomfortable noises about the invasion of privacy, but Ok Taecyeon, who bore the fruit of a long love, has now begun a new chapter as an actor and husband. Fans also sent support saying, "I hope you live happily," and "I want to see you in a work soon."
